»All that glisters is not gold«. That – we have to admit – is also true for our February issue. Nevertheless the effect is stunning. We used an old technique called bronzing, nowadays it is hardly used any more and only a few printers remain who still master the technique. The Swiss printer Wolfensberger is one of them (www.wolfensberger-ag.ch).
Bronzing is certainly not advisable for some commercial applications, but it charms you when it turns your fingers golden and when the metallic particles catch the light in a soft and glowing way. 
 
Apfelzet from Berlin used this effect to design a cover for our February issue that combines elegant retro forms with quirky drawings. The motive fittingly illustrates our novum plus topic. This month we concentrate on the design scene of Mexico and present a variety of studios and designers from this very prolific region. In our Showroom we take a look at Distil Studio in the UK, Ipek Eris in Istanbul and editorial designer Ryszard Bienert in Poland.
